Introduction to jQuery
Thank you again to everyone who joined me for the “Introduction to jQuery” presentation given recently at the 2010 Chippewa Valley Code Camp. I could not have been happier with the number of people that attended the talk, and I was quite pleased with the comments and ratings that followed.
As I mentioned during the presentation, I would be posting both the Slides and HTML that were used throughout the presentation. Since some of you are not Microsoft .Net developers, I opted to convert the project from an ASP.NET MVC project into a basic HTML site that anyone can use for expanding their jQuery knowledge or to just use as a “sand-box” for testing your jQuery selectors, events, etc..
Please Note: Because almost all of the jQuery code was written during the presentation, I opted to re-write all of the code that was shared, and then subsequently comment out the block of code with additional comments as to what the codes purpose or function is. To use the HTML source included below, you will need to edit the HTML within to uncomment any jQuery code you want to use or test.

Hands On LinQ – Presentation Follow Up
Thank you to everyone who joined me for the “Hands On LinQ” presentation given at the Chippewa Valley .Net Users Group (CVNUG).
As promised, I am including the various resources that you can use to continue learning LinQ.
LinqPad Query Examples
If you have downloaded Linqpad and would like to review some of the examples that were built during tonight’s presentation, download the Linqpad Query Examples collection. I took the liberty of cleaning each of the examples up to show only the necessary code, as well as adding comments that will hopefully clarify what the query is expecting to return.
Additional Resources
- Presentation Slide Deck
- IntroductionToLinQ.Core (Source) – This package contains the Visual Studio 2010 (C#) project that I built in hopes of giving you a quick set of business objects and mock database.
- IntroductionToLinQ.Core (Binary) – This package is the compiled business objects class library and requires .Net 3.5 or greater.
- Practice Files (C:\LinQ) – A set of files that can be copied to a LinQ folder on root for the provided samples/examples.
- Linqpad.net
- LinQ 101 (C#)
- LinQ 101 (VB.NET)

Hands On LinQ – Lab Resources
If you are attending my “Hands On LinQ” presentation at the Chippewa Valley .Net Users Group (CVNUG) this evening, feel free to download the presentation resources provided below. Neither are required, but will help substantially should you decide to follow along as we go through the presentation and examples.
This “Hands On” approach will be the first of its kind within the Users Group, and we are excited that CVTC has been able (and willing) to provide the workstation and room resources to make this all possible. You should only be need to download the resources below if you are planning on using your personal laptop to follow along.
I look forward to seeing everyone tonight!
Welcome to BradCandell.com
Like most developers, I utilize blogs on a daily basis for learning and staying current with the technologies I am most actively involved in.
For years, I have contemplated putting forth the time and effort to share my trials and tribulations as an application and web developer, in hopes that, I too could provide some value to someone else in the development community.
It is with excitement and a small amount of fearful anticipation that I start this blog (www.BradCandell.com).
I have been developing both web and desktop applications on various platforms and technologies for the past 15 years. Today, I spend the majority of my time working around the Microsoft .Net Framework and its many facets.
Initially, I expect most all of my posts to center around the following technologies:
- Microsoft .Net Framework & C#
- ASP.NET MVC
- jQuery
- AJAX
- Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF)
- Silverlight
- REST-based Web Services
- Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
- XML/XPath/XSLT
- Regular Expressions (No, I’m not exactly crazy)
- Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ)
- Oracle and ODP.net
- Visual Studio
Outside of development, I spend most of my time with my beautiful wife, and two little boys. My wife, Sarah and I, are expecting our third child sometime in January of 2011. I enjoy fishing, camping, and as much time in my woodworking shop as I possibly can. I also tend to be somewhat of a “lawn nerd” during the months that Wisconsin allows me to keep a lush, green lawn to make the neighbors jealous!
Check back soon for my first post about making a “Requires Javascript” attribute for ASP.NET MVC.
